Rated 4 out of 5 by HeyYa999 from Fun and Flowy!My ex boyfriend bought me this nail polish color about two years ago (when we were dating obviously) and I was really surprised because he has always seen me with more modest shades (not sparkly at all!). Anyways, I was very sketchy about this shade until last week when I decided to give it a try, it's not as if it's permanent or anything.. aaaand I really liked it! the color is dramatic yet fun and eye-catching, it was really easy to apply it since it's very flowy, non-sticky, non-gooey (thank God!)...I see a lot of women with this color also, day or night, although for me preferably wear it at night, for clubbing or what not :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by Waffles from Perfect in everyway!I added Aruba blue to my (very large) Essie collection over a year ago. Normally I want to use a color a few times and then move on to a different color scheme, but this is one color I keep coming back to! I am already halfway through my second bottle, even. It is an amazing color, vibrant, shiny (and what girl does not like shiny), and sapphire. It is slightly thiner than some of Essie's other polishes but that is something I like about it. It is also very useful when doing nail art because it is such a unique color that there are not many that can replace it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Blue is my color1 from An ode to my favorite blueI've always been against using frosted colors simply because I was traumatized by those pearl frost that chip after the first day. Yes, those pearl frosts that make darker skin tones look ashy after the second or third day. For some unexplainable reason I was feeling especially adventurous when I picked up Aruba Blue. Let me just tell you since that first manicure with this frosty- yes frosty- blue, I have since purchased three more bottles. I have golden skin thanks to my mixes ethnicity and I was scared this color wold make my cuticles and knuckles dark but no it did no such things. It radiates off of my nails like the deep ocean. I kid you not, this color can never be captured in a photo because it will most likely break the lens from its luminous brilliance. Ladies Aruba Blue is a color you must have in your arsenal no matter what color pudding you are. Vanilla, butterscotch, or dark chocolate can all benefit from this underestimated blue. Take it from me, Essie nail'D it with this one!!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by tiktighs from This just became my favorite nail polish colorI can actually get away with one coat of this nail polish. It is a beautiful, beautiful dark blue with a light shimmer that I didn't notice until I was in the sunlight. This is not a clumpy nail polish formula, it goes on with ease and I top it with good to go.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Colorkitty1219 from Blue-tiful!After purchasing mint candy apple and being extremely happy with it, I decided to give this one a try because of the reviews. It was love at first sight! This looks even prettier than it does in the photos, and I loved the way it covered my nails. It is long-lasting and gives the perfect coat. I loved it because of the shimmer and the beautiful pure blue color. When I picked it up, I literally jumped for joy! This pairs really well with mint candy apple (right now I am using Mint Candy Apple as a base and the Aruba Blue dotted on top) and can be used for any occasion. The shade also goes really nicely with almost every color of clothing, so that is never a problem. Essie is a quality brand with polishes definitely worth your money and I will be buying many more!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jennayy from Rich and smoothThis polish is opaque in 2 to 3 coats and very smooth. Medium to fast drying time ( first finger painted dry by the time the 10th is painted) and builds very easily. The color is so smooth and would look great with all skin types. Lovely as just an accent nail and best with glossy top coats. I am in love with this color.
